SKS Rifle question

[OddballAZ]

Not true. they are cheap because they can be imported as-is not requiring any modifications once in the country. Also because they are not new production and are old stocks. Rommy ak's are new production and come in as "sporting rifles" accepting only single stack mags. and Century has to make them be able to accept double stack mags. As well as adding a bayo lug and flash hider (IIRC)

Also they have fully milled receivers and a shorter stroke gas system allowing for better accuracy than a typical low cost stamped rommy AK. Also has high reliability.

It's very true. They are cheap and mass produced in other countries. That isn't necessarily a bad thing. And you can probably find more in bad shape than in good shape. But you can still find good ones, and the good ones are cheaper than a lower end AR.

7.62x39*

7.62x25 is like what those little Tokarev (sp) pistols shoot..

A "CZ-52" is a Tokarev in 7.62x25....I don't understand your point...?

I am not awar of any ban. The old Assult weapon ban expired.

Does that mean that the SKS with the bayonette is legal again?

get an ak 47 one of the best in the world

Good morning!

Someone was hyping sks rifles in another thread here (newbie gun questions I think) a week or so ago. Since then I have researched them somewhat, and concluded that *I want one*!

There is a local gun show this weekend I'm inclined to attend and possibly purchase one.

HOWEVER, I have cause for concern. My brother-in-law said that in 2010 they ("assault weapons" of which the sks is apparently one) will become illegal to own. He said this is why so many are selling them so cheaply, because the feds are gonna grab 'em in a couple of years.

Now, my brother-in-law is often full of shit, but I'm still concerned.

Does anyone know if there's any truth to what he claims??

Would love to know this before I go and buy one this weekend!

Thanks.

Get an AK 47 one of the best in the world and the round are cheap and easy to find..Good knock-down power and excellent reliability also if you can shoot its good for 200 yards at least

The purpose of the 2nd amendment was to make sure that tyranny wasn't imposed by means of the government having more fire power than the people. SKS's can be modified, I like Romanian sks's. But Russian, Chinese whatever, I want an mp5, 9mm is more plentiful and easier to make.

I wish my grandfather was here to guide me, he is a hero.

This is their plan. Not only semis but any gun that can kill at 100 yrds or more. That is every single gun made. Even 22s.

A 9mm is for defending your car. A 12 guage is for defending your house. A 7.62x39 is for defending your rights.

SKS's are great. Be sure to get one that will accept high cap AK mags.
